My green microphone light keeps coming up ever since beta.

[KillaK2a]

Ever since I installed the beta I'm constantly getting my green microphone awareness light popping up like 3 or 4 times every 10 minutes. Before the beta I never had it come on at all. Besides when using camera or recording. But definitely not while just sitting on my home screen. What is this? What turned on that constantly wants to listen in and how do I turn it off without turning off ALL the permissions.

I noticed the same so I turned off the mic access.

[KillaK2a]

Ya. But doing it that way shuts down all of your microphone accessed apps. Including Hey Google, speak to text, etc. Was looking for a specific reason the beta turned this on and a specific way to turn it off without turning everything off related to the microphone.

Mines just started doing that today out of nowhere.🤔🤔🤔

You can see what apps are using the microphone and which one used it recently. I'll look and see where I found it.

[KillaK2a]

I've done this as well and ever since the update I haven't given any permissions to use the mic. So zero apps are allowed and yet it still randomly goes off all the time.

Go to settings, go down to security privacy and then scroll down to privacy. It'll show you permission usage over the last 24 hours.

Just checked. With it having zero permissions given for any apps yet it's showing zero history of being used. But I'm not loosing my mind. This thing is definitely coming on just sitting on my home screen.

It's google and has been happening since the beta
The app probably has a bug or is not optimized for the OS and it's probably not smth that u should worry about bc... it's google
But you can always turn off mic access in settings (will disable "hey google" voice detection

Sounds legit. I've looked into everything else. Typically I wouldn't care for such a small bug on a new beta. Just being that it was my mic listening when it had zero permissions from my side struck my interest.
